Beautiful restaurant with great food, but service was very slow. Arrived on Christmas Eve for dinner and was seated promptly after a small mix up, comical and funny. Was approached within minutes of being seated by a waitress who took our drink order, followed by another waitress just a few minutes later who again wanted to take our drink order. Drinks arrived promptly, but this is where promptly ended. It took about 45 minutes before our appetizers arrived and then another 35 minutes for our dinners. Now this is a special occasion and we are not rushed, but if they would only made eye contact or mention the kitchen was backed up, it would of been appreciated. Now to the food, absolutely top notch. Baked stuffed Shrimp, Veal Cordon Bleau and Rack of Lamb, all rated a perfect 10. No room for desserts as we have plenty waiting for us at home. This place was decorated beautifully and this review only suffers from a waitress who may of been just a little overwhelmed with all of her tables, so this is in no way anything negative by the evening experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special evening out. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the menus, as they were worn papers that didn't go with the beautiful atmosphere, but again only a suggestion.
